Great news. Benitez is really doing his best to clear out the failures and correct the Fool's wrongdoings. Finnan is a nice guy. That's all. And you know, nice guys always finish last. I agree with the posters that Finnan's main weaknesses are his lack of physical strenght and determination. When the going gets tough, Finnan goes missing. He looks like a girl trapped in a man's body. He can probably play in a mid table team, but he will never win big throphies. Big throphies is what Liverpool is all about, or at least what Liverpool should be. Benitez is my man. For years I've been upset over some of our mediocre players, and the pure lack of skills they display. And most of all I've been upset because we have lacked formation and strategy. Now Benitez is correcting this. Reports has it that they are working very hard on the tactical side of the game, and how to attack and defend as a UNIT. He will sign no more Finnans, Murphys, Biscans, Diaos, Cheyrous, Kippes, Traores, Diomedes.... He will not waste 11 millions on Heskeys or Dioufs. He is much smarter than that. Benitez knows what he is doing and he will win the league for us.
Some say they are concerned about us having a small squad and Benitez selling squad players. I am not worried. I think this is a good move. We should have a smaller squad, and we should also use academy players as back up to our big name players. Houllier sold Steven Wright and bought Finnan. That was a big mistake. He also replaced Thompson with Cheyrou. Another astonishing mistake. Hopefully under Benitez academy players will get more of a chance to prove their worth. And selling 28 year old squad players like Murphy and Finnan will make it easier for our youngsters to get into the team. Well done Benitez.
If football is banned in heaven. I'd rather go to hell.
